=== Bomb Threat Drill Confusion (02:24) ===

[00:00:43]  We got security coming in saying that there was a fire drill trying to fire marshals at the building.
[00:00:48]  So everybody did leave.
[00:00:50]  And we're here.
[00:00:51]  We're trying to figure out what it is.
[00:00:52]  Then we see all these police cars here.
[00:00:53]  No fire trucks.
[00:00:54]  That's obviously not a fire drill.
[00:00:57]  Male Anapoulos.
[00:00:59]  We're here to host an event with a bunch of people who wanted to gather, express their ideas and their opinions on Gamergate, and mostly people who are supporting the movement.
[00:01:12]  Roughly, probably like around 12:30 or so, there was an apparent bomb threat that was called in.
[00:01:18]  Everyone who was inside was asked to leave the premises on a part of a fire drill for them to investigate the situation.
[00:01:26]  I don't want to leave anyone out of the drill.
[00:01:30]  There's a lot of things going on, a lot of mixed messages as far as I'm aware.
[00:01:33]  I've heard everything from a bomb threat to somebody called the fire marshal to somebody from fire alarm.
[00:01:38]  Oh yeah, Friday night, terrible time for a fire drill.
[00:01:41]  Fire marshals never do that, especially to a place like this, which like this is a big bar with me to.
[00:01:46]  Yeah, they wouldn't be shutting it down unless they like got like a threat.
[00:01:50]  So as far as I saw Christina Huff Summers leave in a cab, I assume she thought Milo has gone down to another bar that we have spread through word of mouth.
[00:01:59]  I've heard a direct call was made to Dispatch saying that there was apparently a bomb inside the premises.
[00:02:09]  Of course, there is no one that I can say that was part of this last night who was taking responsibility for the bomb threat.
[00:02:16]  And maybe what most people are saying is someone on TV calls a lot of time outside who is responsible for even making the bomb threat in the first place.
[00:02:24]  This is a meeting for people who supported Gamergate.
[00:02:27]  Nice, peaceful meeting.
[00:02:28]  We mostly spend a lot of time laughing and drinking.
[00:02:30]  And ship hosting.
[00:02:31]  And ship hosting.
[00:02:32]  This is true.
[00:02:32]  We have an investigation going on right now.
[00:02:34]  I can't go into any specifics about what we're doing.
[00:02:37]  We have to safeguard the building to get the people out.
[00:02:39]  Once the investigation's over, once we deem the building safe, everybody will be allowed to go back in.
[00:02:43]  Is that the K-9 unit that just arrived?
[00:02:45]  Yes, it is.
[00:02:47]  And what is the K-9 unit?
[00:02:48]  What do they generally take care of?
[00:02:50]  I cannot tell you that.
[00:02:50]  I know the person who owns it is an immigrant and don't know how many places they own here, but this is not a chain.

=== Too Much Talk About Video Games (00:36) ===

[00:02:59]  This is not Starbucks.
[00:03:01]  They're hurting the bottom line of someone who's trying to make money tonight.
[00:03:05]  And they succeeded, so congratulations.
[00:03:18]  Some jackass called in a fire thing when there wasn't one.
[00:03:22]  Because people were having too good a time talking about video games.
[00:03:27]  Yes.
[00:03:27]  It's okay.
[00:03:28]  The after party's better.
[00:03:29]  That's right.
